Description

In Papyrus' third racing game, the focus is moved from open-wheeled cars (IndyCar Racing) to closed-cockpit Nascar stock cars. 640x480 is the highest resolution on offer, on the CD-ROM version.

Nascar Racing is a detailed simulation with realistic car models, accurate controls and room for a distinct racing style. Nine tracks are featured, the Watkins Glen road course alongside oval racing. You have full control over the car's set up and paint job.

To reach a wide audience, various driving aids are available, such as auto-shifting and auto-braking. Races can be fine-tuned with the amount of laps.

One of the notable features is drafting, by which you can position your car just inches off the rear of competitors in front of you. When in this aerodynamically optimal position, you gain acceleration, conserve fuel and place less stress on the mechanical parts. By timing right, you can also make a quick pass.

Subject: If you need help.

Running it with the -h perimeter starts it in SVGA mode, it could still be slow, so here's how you can troubleshoot this:
Increasing the FPS and Max FPS
Or..
Turning off some textures.
I hope this has been helpful for you.

Reviewer: Mara Jade729 - - April 8, 2023
Subject: It's not slow

Running it with the -'h' parameter starts it in SVGA and without tuning DOSBOX beforehand, it's going to run dog-slow as you all found out. Run WITHOUT '-h' to put it in regular VGA mode and enjoy!

My brother and I used to play this game a lot back in the day!

I had the CD-Rom version that came with a green box.
The cd in an audio cd player could play 2 tracks, the one in the intro, and then there was a second track.
Does anybody knows if a full cd rip can be found?

Subject: Slow

It's still slow as crazy even with nascar.exe -h, while the CPU usage is low on the host. DOSBox would need some tuning here.

What can i do to make it run properly? It's too slow =/

Subject: Info

Once the game launches, go to EXIT, and you'll be back in "DOS". Then relaunch the game by typing "nascar -h" to launch in SVGA mode.
